Description
My first attempt at realistic drawings with graphite. Wow... I guess I did learn more in Art 103 Two-Dimension Design than I thought! Seriously, the fundamentals will get you far! Anyways, I recently acquired Pokémon Diamond for the Nintendo DS and like... holy crap, I love Pokémon! ^_^ Anyways, here's a drawing of a young trainer's hand looking at the surface of a Pokéball. I guess that's it. Critique is very much appreciated.Crikey! The accent acute "é" isn't allowed as part of the title! x_X

Titles can be so stupid that way...I'm so anal, I always have to include the accent mark.

I used the ampersand ("&") a lot... but it isn't allowed in the title... so I've got to replace it with the word "And" and then sometimes it won't even fit x_X. Thank you very much for your words! Yeah, I remember in middle school... if you liked Pokémon... you were considered GAY (which sucked because Pokémon GS had just come out). Then high school came and like... no one cared whether you like Pokémon or not. Middle school SUCKS! Anyways, thanks for the words! ^_^

You're welcome! I know what you mean! I had the same problem...everyone called Pikachu gay, and me and one of my girlfriends used to joke, saying, does Pikachu even have a gender? This past semester in high school, when Diamond and Pearl came out, I was in shock, since nearly everyone at the school started playing it again. I was like, hey, I suffered all through middle school, and now everyone's playing it? It was pretty funny. ^^

Other than the ring finger, it looks amazing o_o. Great job on the shading, i love graphite xD. Though i usually get it all over my hands and arms >>. The pokeball looks awesome, and i love the fingernail on the thumb o.o <333

The shading up the arm, wrist, and thumb part looks perfect! Is the ring finger too small compared to the rest? I'm not sure...

The ring finger is bending forward, supporting the front of the pokéball. Yeah, awkward pose. Thanks for the words!

WOAHTHAT'SREALLYCOOL! seriously... it's got both a realistic and cartoon-ish tone to it and everything. The ring finger is kind of weird but it's looks rather minor. awesome job.

Again, THANKS!

Nice; reminds me of Escher's Hand With Sphere self-portrait. Except, without the self-portrait.
Anyway, let's see...okay, first, the fingers all seem like the proper length, so that's good; I've seen many an artist with a proportion problem on hands. Also the shading, especially on the wrist, that looks excellent.
And for what could use work: The lines of the palm are a bit too bold, and that ring finger seems awkward to me, although that may just be personal taste; I've only seen a few people holding a ball that way before, so it seems oddly-placed supporting the ball like that.

I like Escher's work! Holy crap, that Hand With Sphere drawing used like... a 5-point perspective o_O.
Yeah, I noticed how awkward the thickness of the palm lines looked but really didn't know how to remedy the problem. As for the ring finger, I also had trouble expressing how it looked as well. The top of the ring finger is touching the ball, making the shadow there. The perspective, however, looked weird because it looked like a clone of the pinky finger, but darker. The ring finger is actually supporting the front of the ball... so yeah. Thank you very much for the critique!
